Another week over! I keeping with my informal policy of not being very casual on Casual Friday, I gussied myself up.
This is the second appearance of the denim blazer (last seen here), and also the second time 'round for the leather vest (first worn here).
I wore a vintage half-slip under this, along with tights, and striped knee socks.
The stuff:
Vest (Cabi, thrifted), jacket (Bisou Bisou, consignment), skirt (Sandwich, consignment), belt (Club Monaco), boots (Bellevues Libby Smith, Fluevog), earrings (Plum).
Today, even though I really didn't want to, I got up early and went to my WW meeting. *sigh* I'm up, over my goal weight. It wasn't really a surprise; I have been overindulging lately. I've set myself the challenge to lose 7 lbs, maintain it for two weeks in a row...and then I can book my next tattoo!
Anyway, today was very rainy, which made it even harder to get out of bed.
This is my second wear of this cardigan (last seen here), the red sweater (here) and the third wear of the grey velvet skirt (just worn on Wednesday).
My Cydwoqs are getting the most wear of nearly everything in my capsule - this is the fourth wear (worn with the skirt here).
A shot of my outerwear:

| I match the cats' red mousie. |
Cardigan (Kersh, consignment), sweater (Reitman's, thrifted), skirt (Club Monaco), shoes (Cydwoq), chainmail necklace (locally made), watch necklace (Plum). Outerwear: trenchcoat (Jacob), scarf (Danier Leather, thrifted), gloves (Parkhurst), umbrella (Cheeky), bag (Licence).
Love the red in the second outfit!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you layer! :)

I think these are my two favorite outfits of your challenge so far. I love your Libby Smiths and the vest over the jacket. I realized with my Pearl Hart's that I didn't always have to matchy match them either. They "go" just as well as I can "match" them.
ReplyDeleteAlso that second outfit is so goshdarned cute. I love all the different elements, including the coat. I'm really surprised at how normal the cydwoqs look. They always look so bizarre in store photos, but on feet they look classic with a bit of an edge.
Nice red legs, pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to your pink gloves. :)
The weird thing about the dress I wore is that it has pockets and the extra material for them caused the odd bunching you saw. It wasn't me beneath the dress doing that but the dress itself bunching up. I tried to smooth it down but the extra material kept sticking out. Thanks for noticing; you have an eagle eye.
Those boots *do* seem to go with everything. And the red & black outfit is divine.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear my red tights nearly enough. I want to try that vest over a jacket trick...but I don't think any of my vests are big enough!
ReplyDeleteThe red tights and top are great with the monochrome skirt and sweater. What a great look!
ReplyDeleteThose boots are SO fun! I wonder if I could DIY some color blocking like that.
ReplyDeleteThose red tights ROCK!
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI think I want to come sit in your shoe closet and just drool!! You have the best shoes!!
I'm going to try vest over jacket too (before it gets too hot!) - you look great in yours. And I love the red on top, with red legs outfit too, esp with the yummy velvet skirt in between.
ReplyDeleteLove the trench with the red accents. I just learned something new!
